Step 9 - Review the Calibration Results

1. When the calibration of the HR-MS Probe Changer is complete, select the Ports tab in the Probe Changer dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Probe Changer). This tab displays the calibration information for the location of each calibrated port. For example:

Probe Changer dialog box - Ports tab with calibration results

2. When you view the results, look for the following. Any significant deviations from these expectations may be due to a bad hit.

1. - This rack is not necessarily aligned parallel to any axis of the CMM.

   - The Z values should be nearly identical since the ports are all at the same height.

The results during measurement routine execution are:

1. The probe entities that are added to each of the ports are automatically picked up from that location whenever PC-DMIS executes a LOADPROBE command for that probe.

2. The probe body moves to the mount point and then into the "unload" port (the port that used to contain the currently-used probe entity) to drop off the current probe. The current "puck", a conical piece of hardware that connects to the bottom of the probe body, is held in place by the rack while the probe body lifts away to detach.

3. From there, the probe moves over to the next "load" position. The magnetic connection automatically engages to load the new module.

4. The probe then moves back to the rack’s mount point.

5. From there, it continues to measure.

Next, you can choose to recalibrate all ports in DCC mode, or recalibrate a single port.
